Quotes by Steve Maraboli

Instructions for successful living: Dream it. Plan it. Do it. Repeat.

The magic that turns dreams into reality is YOU! When you are inspired by a dream, create a good plan; that turns it into a goal. Then, live your life in a way that will bring that dream, that goal, to life. The magic is you.

Dont limit yourself to someone elses opinion of your capabilities. Be you. Dream, plan, execute!

How much longer will you sit back and wait for your dream to spontaneously come true? Too many days, weeks, months, and years have passed! Do not be unresponsive to your own dreams. Now, set a course of action that will lead to bringing your dream into reality.

Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… dream your dream… then, WAKE UP and bring it to life!

With no action to nourish it, your dream becomes a fantasy.

Nostalgia... the blessing of a merciful memory.

Sometimes the memory of someone is better than the reality of them.

For me, the most magical truth of this universe is that no magic is required.

Others may sit around and wait for magic to happen… I like to get up early and work towards my goals and dreams. Every morning I plant the seeds of what the haters call ‘luck.’ Now, I love magic as much as the next guy, but I realized a long time ago that the magic that turns dreams into reality is YOU. When you are inspired by a dream, create a good plan. Creating that plan turns your dream into a goal. Then, take action! Live your life in a way that will bring that dream, that goal, to life. The magic is you.

This magical universe is so faithful in waiting for us to get out of our own way. No matter how long you have gone astray, when you take action, the universe moves to support the act. Move in the direction of your goals and watch the magic flow.

There is magic in this wonderful life, but only if you choose to do more than just exist; the magic is found when we choose to live.

If your salvation was dependent on your ability to read and understand scripture, Jesus would have been an author.

Jesus said “Give us THIS DAY our daily bread”, knowing that you cannot fight today’s battles with yesterday’s bread. Knowing that you cannot fight today’s battles with the hope of tomorrow’s bread.  Knowing that today you will be nourished by this daily bread, and it’s what you have to fight today’s battle.

When youre too religious, you tend to point your finger to judge instead of extending your hand to help.

The world gives us PLENTY of opportunities to strengthen our patience. While this truth can definitely be challenging, this is a good thing. Patience is a key that unlocks the door to a more fulfilling life. It is through a cultivation of patience that we become better parents, powerful teachers, great businessmen, good friends, and a live a happier life.

Give freely to the world these gifts of love and compassion. Do not concern yourself with how much you receive in return, just know in your heart it will be returned.

I dont want my life to be defined by what is etched on a tombstone. I want it to be defined by what is etched in the lives and hearts of those Ive touched.

Today I will take the opportunity to do unanticipated good.

Embrace love and compassion with all your spirit. Understand that they never hurt or offend, they just heal and empower.
